RECORD FOR WEST,
FARM PRICES DOWN

But Heavy Harvest Makes
Aggregate Income Higher
— Cattle Prices Decli ine

CHEESE ANNOUNCEMENT

By M. DOUGALL, Press Gallery
: Leder Correspondent
OTTAWA, Jan, 14th — The record
grain crop of the West was the out-
standing feature of the agricultural
picture for the country in the past
year, and on the other side the West

was also the scene of the disaster to:

livestock which made the serious/ in-
road into the livestock sales to” any-
where in sections of the West and to
the United States from anywhere in
the country. Farm prices were lower

. in 1952 than in 1951, but through the

‘course intensified by the outbreak of ©

heavy grain harvest the farm income
has been high, in the aggregate high-
er than in 1951. :

Decline Started Early

The decline in cattle prices started
early in the year, and this was of

foot-and-mouth disease in Saskatche-

wan, and the imposition of the em-

‘bargo by the United States in Feb-

“ Jt ¥

ruary. Fortunately, the embargo is
to be removed on: March lst, after
being in operation for slightly over
a year. The sale in normal times to
the United States represents only be-
tween one and one and a half per
cent of the consumption.in beef in
that country. This means that it
cannot be considered a disturbing fac-
tor in markets in the U.S. while at
the same time, from the Canadian

. Standpoint, this export serves as a

balancing factor for Canadian beef
markets,

Would Give Strength in this Event

This doesn’t mean that prices at
Chicago, for example, are always a-
bove or even quite as high as Cana-
dian prices (when you take into ac-
count the import duty and the freight
charges), but should Canadian prices
be lower and show a tendency to de-
cline further, sales in the markets of
the U.S. would tend to strengthen
Canadian prices.

The whole beef situation was great-°

ly eased by the triangular arrange-
ment by which New Zealand beef, in-
tended for Britain, was shipped to the
United States, where it. was sold by
selling agencies, and beef to replace

this New Zealand beef was shipped

to Great Britain. It will cost some-
thing to Canada, but it has proved an
immeasurable relief. to the livestock
trade in Canada, .

To Petition Ottawa to

Hold Our Dollar at Par

If a proposal adopted by the
Alberta Federation of Agriculture
should be endorsed by the West-

ern Agricultural ‘Conference and

by -the Canadian Federation of
Agriculture at forthcoming -ses-
sions in Victoria, the Federal
Government will be petitioned to
“hold the Canadian dollar trom
going above par with United
States currency.”

A resolution on this subject

passed at the A.F.A. Annual

Meeting, pointed out that “the.

Canadian dollar has a very ad-
verse effect upon’ the-value of all
export commodities, including
farm products;” while “the bar-

gaining position of our customers

for Canadian wheat is such that
it. is not possible to raisé the

_price sufficiently to overcome this

adverse effect.” It is pointed out

further, that “the farmer's return.

at best is low in comparison to
his eyer increasing costs of pro-
duction.” -

Urge Domeatic Price

Be Placed on Level of
Class Two Wheat

Setting of the domesttc price of
wheat consumed in. Canada on a
level with the prevailing price at any
period for Class 2 wheat (wheat sold
outside the International Wheat Ag-
reement) was asked by the Annual
Meeting of the Alberta Federation in
Edmonton,

Throughout the whole of the period
during which the domestic price for -
Canadian consumption has ‘been fixed
at the same level as wheat sold un-
der the International Wheat Agree-
ment, the resolution on this subject
sets forth, “farm costs and the Cana-
dian price level have risen continu-
ously, forcing the producers to subsi-
dize the Canadian consumers,” There
is, the resolution states, ‘no reason
why this should continue, as Cana-
dians have one of the highest stand-
ards of living.”

Alberta came gecond among Cana-
dian Provinces last year in value of

Inquiry Into Invasion of Vegetable Oils
‘Into Dairy Field Requested

Establishment by the Provincial Government of “a Board °
to inquire into the whole question of vegetable oils invading —
the dairy field in this Province, and its effect on the urban and

rural economy of Alberta and

the health of the people”, was

asked by the Alberta Federation of Agriculture at its recent
Annual Meeting. The request was unanimous.

The resolution adopted by the Federation had been sub-
mitted by the Northern Alberta Dairy Pool, the Central’ Al-
berta Dairy Pool and the Alberta Dairymren's Association.

“The use of vegetable oils as a substitute for buttérfat in*

milk products and ice cream in the United’ States,’

’ the resolu-

‘is causing considerable concern to the dairy
and”

country.”

‘manure removal.

this is so, it should be of the

Cheese Announcement Encouraging

Though this has directly beneficial
effect on the Eastern dairy industry

West, there is encouragement to all in

the recently announced decision of’

the British to buy $1,500,000 worth of
cheese in Canada. This partial lift-

of the new national body,
which will be, in effect, a loan
company on a co-operative
basis, receiving surplus funds
from its members and making
intermediate term: loans avail-
able to them.

Co-ordination Has Taken Time

Legislation covering the incorpora-
tion of such bodies was foreshadowed
in the Speech from the Throne on

November 20th. Since that date, of-
ficials and a committee of the Co-

_ operative Union of Canada have been
bringing into focus the preparatory.

work on this subject extending back
over several years..° The democratic
process is necessarily slow, and it
has taken time to secure co-ordina-
tion of effort along these lines.
With the announcement of the Go-
vernment's intentions, a meeting was
called of the National Committee on
Co-operative Credit of the Co-opera-
tive Union of Canada in Winnipeg on
December 13th. A. W. Friesen, Presi-

dent of C.U.C., wgs in the chair; and.

We Distrust Our Memory

A woman’s voice and smile comes
from the speaker’s platform. We
have listened often to Mrs, Gunn,
speaking so clearly, so convincingly
on questions that are dear to women’s
hearts and vital to the well being
of the whole state, Seeing that face,
still so youthful, one almost thinks
one’s memory is at fault, and we dare
not mention the year Mrs. Gunn first

Technical Committee ‘Named

To assist in preparing the draft bill
for incorporation of the Canadian Co-
operative
proposed new general legislation and
to confer with the officials: of Gov-
ernment at Ottawa, a technical com-
mittee was named at the Winnipeg

meeting, consisting of A. H. K. Mus--

grave, director of. the Ontario Co-op-

erative Credit Society and of the Co-

operative Union of Canada; T. Kober,
president of Saskatchewan Co-opera-
tive Credit Society; W. B. Melvin and
W. B. Francis, Q.C., acting secretary
and_solicitor, respectively; of the Co-
operative Union of Canada..
Organizational Pattern Varies
The pattern of organization under
Provincial statutes governing co-op-
erative credit institutions is not~uni-
form. In Quebec, the several hundred
local Caisses Populaires (or people’s
banks), are federated in some ten re-
gionals, though the idea of a Pro-
vince-wide institution for co-operative
Savings and credit is gaining ground.
The Provincial society of Newfound-
land was incorporated only a few
weeks ago.- At the Winnipeg meet-

ord had not been received of.

New Brunswick or Prince

erative Credit Society was well rep-
resented there, but had-to await fur-
ther action before signing the _peti-
tich.

Position in Alberta

: Here in Alberta, the situation was
animeeaat by a resolution of the an-
nual convention of the Credit -Union
League of Alberta in 1951, on which
no further action was taken in 1952.
The Alberta Central Credit Union was
therefore notin position to partici-

‘pate in the Winnipeg. meeting: nor

to_sign the petition. It is anticipated

that regulations will be established:

to permit Provincial co-operative cre-
dit institutions and inter-provincial
co-operatives not signatories to the
petition presented on December 3ist,
to become members of the national
society when established.

THE WESTERN FARM LEADER 2

- Service to , Farmers Test of
Professional Organization

4e

By J. R. McF ALL,

Secretary A.F.A.

PROFESSIONAL organization in agriculture must stand
or fall on its being able to serve. the ssuneatcs farmers
as well as-its members.” ’s

This was: the main theme of.an address given by Rupert
Ramsay, General Secretary of ‘the Agricultural’ inatitige of
nada, at a recent dinner meeting. of the Calgary. and _ Dis-

In developing his theme, Mr.
Ramsay referred to. the inter-

was granted leave from his

Objectives of Organization

The objectives of the organization,
first established in 1920, were refer-
red to by the speaker, and he point-
ed out that they were as good teday
as thev were thirtv vears.aro, He.

the

referred also to the work of the or-

_ ganization and. pointed out that this

was done largely through commit-
tees. -At the present time, some: 1

committees are operating, each with

its respective field of work,

Mr. Ramsay referred to one

' piece of work that has just been:
completed — a survey of Agri-
cultural Research, This was the
work of 32 experts under: the
chairmanship of Dr. Robert. New.-
ton, former President of the Uni-

‘Work, on soil and water ;conserva-:

Ottawa, were referred to.

Thirty members of the local branch
and visitors were in attendance.
President Don Matthews was in the
chair,. The speaker was introduced

suggested that a plebiscite be taken
to impress the Goverment with what
we believe.is the ovérwhelming de-
sire of producers for Producer Con-
trolled Marketing Boards, The send-
ing out of questionnaires by the. vari-
ous organizations was suggested, It
was contended that such appeals are..
often ignored, se

Here, in my. opinion, is where the
A.F.A, failed to use strength that
was available. I was too slow in
formulating a motion I had in mind
and the opnortunity passed.

_This would have been my motion:

“Resolved. that this question of
appeal to the general body of
‘producers be turned over to the
Farmers’ Union of Alberta {for
action.”

As over I should have tried to
point’ o that our F.U.A., with. its
many locals, is our educational boriy,
close to the men on the land and
best able to get action from the,
ground’ up; or let us put it another
way, from the voters,

Sometimes. I have thought and
stated that we only need one farmer
organization. But our producer. mar-
keting associations, hard fisted busi-
ness bodies as they must be .in a

An Amusing Incident

There was at least One amusing in-
cident that some of us did not grasp
until it was all over, Let us go back
to the first day, when the Minister
of Agriculture brought greetings to
the assembly from his Government.

The Hon, Dave Ure is an able Min-
ister, young, vigorous. Sometimes,
just because of that vigor, he goes

out on a limb, but watch him care- .

fully; he gets off that limb without
damage to himself or his government.

Dave is a good speaker, well worth
listening to at any time in any place.

As usual, his speech is good ana—

well applauded, BUT HE DOES NOT

Dear Farm Women:

When you read this, Christmas and

for another year. Perhaps there has
been a bit of a sigh of relief com-
bined with the other emotions the
holiday season has roused. It would
be hard to keep things quite t®
holiday pitch all the time.

There has. been a folding and put-
ting: away of some of the Christmas
wrappings which play so prominent a
part in the Christmas picture of to-
day. I think some of us older ones
feel half. inclined to. laugh when we
look back and think of the perfectly
naked and unadorned gifts of the old
days which hung quite, unabashedly

-on the Christmas tree or found them-

sélves in that state in the Christmas
stocking.

Father Christmas was kind to you,
I hope, and brought you what you

. wanted or, perhaps. better, still wsed
- imagination and brought you some-
‘thing you had not considered and

yet will add to life in the new year.
The Famous Dr. Johnsonis..

a little booklet “Dr. Jolins
Qbservations and Judgmen 5 upon
Life and Letters chosen by John Hay-
ward,” in the Zodiac Books, London,

It may sound a most ponderous vol-
ume, but is really only a booklet with
very brief comments of Dr. Samuel
Johnson’s on a* wide variety of sub-
jects. It is a book to pick up and
read a comment or two.in a passing

Provekes Thought

in London in 1784. As I said, at the
Christmas season, there is very often
more reminiscing, more talking of the
old days than at any other season.
We recall what we did, and what
we heard our parents say was the
custom in their time. Sometimes it
swould seem that in various ways life
and people have changed entirély.
When we read: these little comments
— and to many it will be recalling
what they read of his before — we
wonder just how great is the change
in people and their characteristics.

“Ultimate Result of Ambition”

The little booklet is divided into
sections which contain Johnson’s ob-
servations on various ‘subjects. For
instance, in the section “Life” there
are. dis brief comments on War, Self-
Interest, Poverty, Monev - Making,
Boredom. The next section is ‘Soci-
etv” with its “Friendship”. “Tmnortant
Peovle”’, “Keening Secrets’, “Cant’’,
and other topics. Then comes a sec-
tion on Domesticity with ‘Domestic
Hapniness”’, one, and hy the way, I
noted Dr. Johnson said that “To he
Happy at home is the ultimate result
of all ambition.” It is indeed at home,
he added, thag§ everv. man must~ be
known by those who would make a
just estimate of his virtues or felicity.

Some of these comments will prob-
ably, as I said, make you go on your
way thinking that you quite agree
with him or possibly there may be
some which cause you to. wonder
why;'you should or should not agree,
and: you think’ over them. Others, I
think will be more a cause. for ‘a
laugh, as for instance, the comment
on the remarriage of a gentleman
who had~been very unhappy in mar-
riage, but who married immediately
after his wife died. Said Dr: Johnson,
“It was the triumph of hope over ex-
* perience.”

As I said, Christmas is past, and
the New Year has come. We begin
to look ahead instead of back. To
some individuals, some communities,

the prospect may seem most cheerful,

but very black it looks at times and
in places in many 'parts of the world.
Again we wish each other a happy
New Year and again we hope.

Yours sincerely, :
H. ZELLA SPENCER.

THE WESTERN FARM LEADER

Historic Past Our Inspiration for Future

AN is living in the
dawn forever,
‘and we should
realize that our past — the
history of the farm organiza-
tions — has no other mission
than to. equip and train us
for the future. Let us set our
goals high and work for the
achievement of them.”

66

The above passage formed the key-

-note of the address’ of Miss Mable

Rasmuson, President of the Junior
Branch of the Farmers’ Union of Al-
berta, to the Annual Convention of
the F.U.A. in Edmonton. In her sur-
vey of the work of the Juniors, Miss

eS:

MABLE RASMUSON

Rasmuson stressed the debt which

the younger generation of today owes
to its .forerunners, in senior and
junior farm organizations,

_ Thirty Years’ History

“Perhaps,” said Miss Rasmuson,
“one of the first big undertakings of
the Juniors was to hold a convention
at Farm Young People’s Week (at the
University of Alberta) some 30 years
ago., Here a slate of officers was
elected to draw up a constitution to
be known as the Junior U.F.A.”, with
aims which the speaker outlined.
“Through the years the Juniors have
continued to be connected with Farm
Our Junior
leaders have set a high standard for
those following to achieve, and it is
the training given at Farm Young
People’s Week and in our Junior
Locals that has inspired them to
some extent to such higher goals and
attainments.”

Aims of Junior Branch
Miss Rasmuson described the aims
of the branch as being:

“1. To train our members to become
better citizens: By that I mean be-
coming men and women of good
moral and physical strength, believ-
ing in our country and, being ready
to defend it, being honest with others
and ourselves, and obeying the laws
of the country and of God.

“2. To train our members for
leadership: We, the young people,
must, in years to come, accept re-
sponsible positions of leadership in
our communities, in our agricultural
organizations, in our co-operatives, in
our churches and in our governments,

.and so our aim is to train in the

basic fundamentals of leadership.
“3. To follow more definitely a

four-fold plan of development: that

iss educational, vocational, economic
and social, in order to give the young

»

people of a community an opportun-
ity to know one another better, to
enrich the social life of their com-
munity and to make life happier and
better in order that these young
people may serve their communities,
their province and nation more effec-
tively and: thereby assist in promot-
ing International. Goodwill.”

Purposes of Farmers’ Union

Aims and purposes of the Farmers’
Union, of which the Juniors form a
part, Miss Rasmuson defined as fol-
lows, quoting from her own reading:
“A Farmers’ Union is to improve the
living of all families who earn their
living by tilling the soil. In order to
do this, there must be peace, democ-
racy, an@ abundance for all, regard-
less of race, color or creed.” She
added this coniment: ‘Neither farm-
ers aS a group nor Canada as a
sation can be isolated on a, little
island’ of ‘plenty while other groups
or nations suffer.” ”

The Junior President referred to the

‘decision four years ago to enter. “a

candidate’ for Miss Calgary. Stam-
pede”. The Juniors had won first
place in the contest on the first occa-
sion, and\second in other years, and

satisfactory results...

the most valuable Rural Leadership
€ourse which has completed its third
year is helped financially by the trust
fund raised in connection with the
campaigns. She spoke of the ex-
change visits with Ontario farmers,
and of the role of host which the
Juniors played to a young lad and
lassie from the Young Farm Clubs of
Scotland.

Work Successtully With 4-H Clubs |

“I find, working in the different ‘4

districts,” said Miss Rasmuson, “that
the 4-H Clubs and Juniorsycan work
very successfully together. It is good
training in leadership for our older
members to act as club—leaders or
else as sponsors for a 4-H Club pro-
ject.”

Various useful local activities of
the Juniors were described. Some
locals ‘paint th® neighborhood mail
boxes with names of the’ owners;
others sell name signs of wood for
the farmer’s gate, sponsor
Radio Forum, 4-H Club projects, local
entertainment, and cater for banquets
and weddiggs. A “Fun File” of sug-
gestions for games, dances, quizzes,
etc., is helped by Central Office.

The Wheat Situation’

By E. PATCHING, Publicity Dept.,

Supplies of wheat in the major ex-

available for export or carryover have
been placed at 1,420 million bushels
by the Dominion bureau of statistics.
This is approximately 29 per cent
greater than the 1,102 million bushels
avajlable a year ago. Virtually all
of the wheat stocks were located in
Canada and the United States, with
distribution being as follows:

While supplies in Australia and Ar-

THE WESTERN FARM LEADER

Legislation Sought
to Enable Producers
to Create Own Boards

Federation Also Asks Plebis-
cite on Setting up Egg
Marketing Board

By unanimous vote, the Alberta
Federation of Agriculture,-in annual
cow reiterated its request to the

Go ment of the Province for the
enactment of workable legislation to
provide for “the setting up of pro-
ducer controlled marketing boards for
various types of farm products.”

Seek Plebiscite on Board for Eggs

The delegates also specifically re-
quested the Alberta Government to

“hold a plebiscite of poultry producers |

‘Government-Owned

to. ascertain their wishes with respect
to the setting up of a Poultry Pro-
ducers’ Marketing Board—such Board
to be on an experimerttal: basis for
the marketing of eggs.’

The egg market, the Board set
forth, “is subjected to extremes of
price fluetuation, not justified by sup-
ply and demand, with resulting dis-
ruption of production on the one hand
and discouragement of consumption

- on the other.”

In support of the proposal that a
plebiscite be held, the resolution on
this subject refers to the fact that
“the statement has been made that

a-substantial number of farmers do.

not favor marketing legislation as re-
quested by the A.F.A.”

Made Board Impracticable

Discussing the first of the resolu-
tions described, K. V. Kapler, presi-
dent of Alberta Co-operative Poultry
Producers, Ltd., and vice-president of
the- Federation, pointed out that an

-amendment passed by the Legislative

Assembly in 1949 deleted the part of
the act on the statute books which
made operation of the Board possible,
and that the Federation had been
trying to obtain legislation to reme-
dy this defect during the past three
years. In 1952 a special session to
deal with the matter had been asked

' for, but the Government had not seen |

fit to grant this request. ~~
L. H. Pharis of Magrath, and oth-

ers,. gave support:to the view: that ©

“the time has come when we have
got to get out to the: farmers and

- preach producer marketing boards.”
It was indicated. further that the

honey producers have been asking for
the enactment of such legislation in
order that they might take advant-
age of it, but that they had “got no-
where’’, though the farmers had such
Boards in Ontario, Manitoba and Rae:
katchewan.

Ask Sterling Be Accepted

Pointing out: that

“surpluses of

agricultural products to Canada are .

becoming an increasingly difficult

problem, owing to the inability of .

countries in the sterling area to
obtain dollars,” the Alberta Federa-
tion of Agriculture in annual meeting
urged the Federal Government “to
seriously investigate the possibility of
accepting sterling for agricultural
products” and of removing “tariffs
and ‘import duties which presently
handicap the efforts of Great Britain
and other countries to obtain dollars
by the export to Canada of manu-
factured goods.”

The resolution on this subject had
previously been adopted by the Sas-
katchewan Federation of Agriculture,
and ‘submitted to the A.F.A. with the
suggestion that it be endorsed.

Rural Power Plan
Is Strongly Urged

Requesting the Alberta Government
to “go ahead without further delay
with a Government-owned and con-
trolled system” of rural..electrifica-
tion, “along the line that other Pro-
vinces are doing for their people,”
the Annual Meeting of the Alberta
Federation of Agriculture expressed
the belief that the adoption of such
a plan “would be Iess costly” than
the present system “and relieve far-

mers of the complication of forming .

and carrying on innumerable small
organizations.”

It was set forth that “at the time
of the plebiscite on rural electrifica-
tion, the cities of Alberta already had
electricity,” and that “they were told
that rural electrification for Alberta
would mean an increase in the cost
of electricity;” that the cities voted
against the plan of Government own-
ership in rural electrification but that
there was a majority in rural areas
in favor of it.

Some Paniines of
AFA Annual Meeting

Under the chairmanship of Wilfred
Hoppins, with H. I. Montgomery and

L. R. Jensen as assistant chairmen,
the AFA Annual Meeting, represent-
ing 56 farm bodies, dealt with a wide
range of subjects. Delegates re-
quested:

vestigate reason why retail meat

ing also:

Expressed appreciation to Rt. Hon.
J. G. Gardiner “for implementation
of the policy of supporting livestock
prices at a time when the livestock
industry was threatened with a dis-
astrous price collapse due to the out-
break of foot-and-mouth disease in
Saskatchewan and the resultant U.S.
embargo.”

Asked Alberta Government to make

Fruits from seed the first year: ‘easily grown,
Bush form; about one foot high. No runners.
Hardy perennial. Bears abundantly from early

makes it highly ornamental as well as valuable J
in vegetable, fruit or flower garden, borders
etc. A showy pot plant too. Though smaller than
commercial strawberries Mont Rosa is the largest
fruiting of any vari we know from seed,
‘surpassing the popular solemacher-and similar

OTTAWA, Ont. — Barnyard manure
may be used to improve the sod-
botnd condition of old brome grass
stands with good results, states the
Dominion Department of Agriculture.
However, where large areas are to be
rejuvenated, it is stated, the use of
commercial fertilizers becomes of in-
terest. Experiments carried out from
1947 to 1951 indicate that high nitro-«
gen fertilizers will increase seed yield
as much as 150 pounds per acre, if
moisture conditions are favorable.

Hello, Folks!

Happy New Year everybody, and
don’t forget to date your letters 1953:

* *

We understand that when the
dawn-light of the New Year,-spread
over the land they were still sitting
in:the dark up at Ottawa.

* +

And don’t worry over what is going
to happen in the New Year, even the
politicians don’t knowwhat happened
in the old one.

+ x
FRAGMENT
The clock strikes twelve! Thé year
is dead!
Another page ‘from life is torn:
No matter how that page was read,
This is no time to mourn.
The future's yours; rejoice instead,
Another year is born. :
. * «

Speaking of New Year’s resolutions,
Fern of Fernie says she has resolved
to make her money say good buy
when it says good-bye.

* .
THOUGHT FOR 1953
an’s years vanish like a shadow,

but Old Omar reminds us to: -
‘Make. the best of what we yet
may spend,
“Before we, too, into the dust

descend.”

PRACTICAL SUGGESTION

Never send “BLUE” daisies for con-

solation; send FOUR ROSES instead.

BRIGHT THOUGHT FOR JANUARY

USTARD AND CRESS i

By SYDNEY MAY

——

a women’s club in Chicago on
New Year's resolutions, said that
last year her husband persuaded
her to resolve “NOT TO SPEAK
MORE THAN TEN MINUTES IN
ANY ONE DAY”. She kept this
resolution, but it caused her in-
calculable suffering. As she was
a woman, declares Wally, our in-
curable bach., there is no doubt
that her suffering, even if
equalled, has never been ex-
celled.
- *

As a matter of fact, says he, last

. year she suffered from being tongue-

tied, but this year, undoubtedly, she

’ will suffer from being tongue-tired.

* *
MIXED PICKLE, WHAT?

The COOL CUCUMBER says that
asking the-strawberry for information
may get you into a jam, and you
may even be given the raspberry as
you leave “the patch. She never
wastes her time asking a _ green
tomato anything, as_ he’s nearly
always in a pickle and the tales of
the horse-radish are too spicy. Even
the beetroot blushes about every-
thing and the celery blanches as if
he were: going to faint. Nunno, the
Cool Cucumber goes to the corn who
has ears to hear the gossip and_ to
the homely potato who has eyes to
see what’s going on and who always
seems to know his onions.

* *

News dispatch states that an East-
ern manufacturer claims to have in-
vented something to deodorize onions

while a cable from England tells of
the inventigen of an odorless beer..

And now we fear the coming of a
smokeless tobacco.

* +

The post_office at Stratford-on-
‘Avon reports that it still receives
more than 300 letters a. year ad-
dressed to William. Shakespeare and
has to send them all back in accord-
ance’ with post office regulations —
marked, we, presume, “returned -for
better direction”. 8

NOTE FOR THE THRIFTY

Left over wine from the New
Year’s Eve party should now be
carefully corked and stored in
any cool part of the basement.
If kept away from people, it will
last till next Christmas.

“And Pollyanna writes to remind us
that in this ~sad old world we can
still be glad. She says that, even if
there is an A-bomb and an H-bomb,
we can still be glad because. there is
no K-bomb, and even if a K-bomb
should come, we-can still be glad
because the alphabet only goes to Z.
+ * ‘ -
Yep, Polly, but what we’d like to
know is how we are to stay glad if
the scientists should switch to num-
erals,
